How about using the aircraft as a tool to achieve an aim. Utilising the full flight envelope (and occasionally beyond the flight envelope in combat situations) upto and including max weights in hostile environments both in terms of weather and situation.
Most civilian operators place strict 'wear and tear' usage limits on their machines that the military do not.
p.s. We used to practice auto rotation to a running landing in the S61 all the time!
